Net Media SCE1 Indoor/Outdoor Weather-resistant B/W Camera Review

NET MEDIA IN/OUT DOOR WEATHERPROOF CAMERA B/W - B/W Weatherproof Security Camera

The Net Media SCE1 Indoor/Outdoor Weather-resistant B/W Camera provides one of the most innovative solutions available in residential camera applications. This camera's revolutionary new design blends in to almost any environment by providing you with a discrete camera that looks like an ordinary floodlight. Unlike many ball cameras, the SCE1 is fully adjustable with a 360-degree horizontal and 180-degree vertical positioning range for the housing, as well as 360-degree range for the camera itself inside the housing. Easy to install, this camera comes in a weather-resistant heavy-duty aluminum housing with a glass lens cap that protects it from the elements while still providing unobtrusive security and surveillance.

The Net Media SCE1 utilizes a black-and-white CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor and a 3.6-millimeter fixed lens. This unit achieves a resolution of 350 horizontal TVL (TV lines), and can receive a picture down to a minimum illumination of 0.7 Lux. This camera features video and power wires that are fed through the housing arm and connect behind the base, keeping them out of sight and away from the elements. For its output, the Net Media SCE1 uses a BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman, RF-type) connector, and runs on 12-volts DC power supplied via its included power supply.

Technical Features:

• Sensitivity: minimum illumination of 0.7 Lux
• Resolution: 350 TVL
• Lens type: 3.6 millimeter fixed
• Dimensions: 5.5 and 4.5 inches in diameter (camera and base)

The Net Media SCE1 deserves serious consideration as one of the easiest and most economical monitoring solutions available for those in need of basic in-home surveillance. Users should note that the CCD image sensor may become permanently damaged if exposed to long hours of direct sunlight or halogen light, so the camera should not be mounted or pointed directly at the sun or other bright-light sources.

About Surveillance Camera Technical Features
Lux rating is the measurement used to indicate how sensitive a camera is to light, and stands for the level of light reflected off a piece of paper by a candle from one meter away. Thus a sensitivity of three Lux would mean a camera could generate an acceptable picture of a piece-of-paper-sized object that was illuminated by the equivalent of three candles from one meter away. The lower the Lux level, the better the camera's ability to work in low-light conditions. The camera's resolution should be greater than or equal to the resolution supported by the system's recorder or monitor. The S/N, or signal to noise ratio, is an important measure of a camera's quality. A poor camera, low-light conditions or poor wiring causes "noise" which consumes processing power and disk space. A camera with a wide dynamic range is ideal, especially for recording areas in which both indoor and outdoor light are present. CCD (charge-coupled device) sensors provide high-quality images that are less susceptible to noise. CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) sensors offer less image quality, but are usually more cost-effective and energy efficient.
